Four years after their first encounter, Rock it Out! Blog’s Sami Jarroush had a chance to reconnect with Eagles of Death Metal frontman Jesse “Boots Electric” Hughes during SxSW. What ensued was a conversation that covered plans for a new Eagles Of Death Metal album, Hughes’ love for rock and roll, ideas for future merchandise, and tips on how to win over a woman. Needless to say, it was a verse enjoyable discussion, one which you can replay below.

Keep an eye out over the next few weeks for more interviews from SXSW. Also, make sure to follow Rock it Out! Blog on Twitter and Facebook, and subscribe to its YouTube channel.
